The Adventitious
The New Church of Jax, the Kingdom of Sangria's official congregation of priests, priestess and followers in servitude to 'Him of Luck' and is a separate entity to the Sangrian Regime. They do not participate in war, unless war would be of relevance to Jax.

Followers
In order to properly spread and maintain worship to 'Him', the origin of 'The Adventitious' leads to Halbed, the seat of the Kingdom of Sangria and the blessed of Jax himself.
Those who take up the tenants of the church take hand-in-hand the doctrine of Jax, and any who would betray the church are to be branded permanent exile. It is said that an aura of luck encompasses those who take up tabard of Jax, that every good-willed swing of their blade is lead by 'Him'. A priest(ess) of Jax is expected to hold Divine Law above any other.

Social Structure
The head of the church is the blessed of Jax at all times, and is to be respected as the ambassador of 'Him'.
The second position of power yet respected in almost the same light is that of the Gold Paladin, appointed by the blessed to carry out the teachings of Jax to aspiring priest and priestess. He leads a sect of the church, the Fortune Runners.
Below him are all of the men and woman that have reached priesthood. They are the backbone of the church, and will continue to follow the tenants and spread worship where they can, taking orders from their higher-up. Priests often carry around staffs/scepters of a dark wood, wrapped in purple and gold silks about the shaft, and wield a large emerald at the head.
Aspiring priest and priestess are remarked as scribes. They study the teachings of 'Him of Luck' in hopes to one day be granted the status of a priest, to conduct sermons of their own.

Tenants:
1. One shall give a slice of their wealth to the church, in debt to 'Him'.
2. One shall make every opportunity to spread faith to the willing.
3. One shall always resort to re-education of a heretic before considering execution.
4. One shall chase all opportunities, to better their standing in the lands.
5. One shall honour all debts and oaths, and give largesse to those who do so in return.
6. One shall never reveal their entire hand in one play.
7. One shall see that they respect the Divine Law.
